But realize that at Cafepress, the red shirt doesn't have anything printed on the back. The back of the shirt is empty.
Which is too bad because they have a better way of printing now. They dye the shirt rather than do an iron-on thing like most print shops.

Zazzle costs a bit more, $22.45 for a red shirt, printing on both sides. The problem with zazzle is I don't seem to have actual sizing available. When I place an image I don't see what size it will be in inches, just how it looks on the screen. It may lead to jaggies in the image.
But at least with Zazzle we can get a red shirt and it looks good on the screen.

With the other two sites I ran into different problems I wont bother to go into.

We're probably better off working with a local vendor. The only problem is everyone has to order their shirt at the same time and I have to collect money, etc.

The shop here in town will do these like the pics directly above (red shirts with 2 colors on the front, and one on the back) for $13 for a 6 ounce unisex T or $15 for a ladies cut T. These are either Fruit of the Loom or Hanes shirts-can't remember-preshrunk, 50-50 cotton/polyerster. Lead time is two to three weeks and I'm willing to order and distribute. Would be nice to get payments up front to cover the deposit, but if you need to mail it and promise to do it promtly, I'll trust you. Include a couple of bucks if you want me to mail it to you (US orders only), and I'll catch those I can at club gatherings.

One thing I will let them change is the spaceing of the IKE letters on the back. Graphic artists are good a designing text so it looks better then it types. I will ensure that it looks as FBI-ish as possible. Maybe the kids shirts shouldn't have the backs printed?

If we wanna go this route lets get this decided on and orders in, in the next week.

And I like 100% cotton Thanks for looking into this Draftnik. I've been wanting to check one of my local printers too. Now that I'm back home and I can check it out and we can compare.
David had also said something about getting a deal.
Is there a quantity discount?
If not, everyone can just do their own in their own town. I can post graphic files here on the board.

I like cotton too. Now that I've checked, the shirts we've gotten before from this place are 100% cotton, and we probably outa go that route. They're nice T's. Will try and wear them to the club fly. There's a miniumum quantity of 12 at this place, I imagine it's the same with other shops. I believe we can mix and match the shirts we use so polos are an option (do you want the back printed on those too?). The website for them is http://www.theedgeus.com I didn't see an online catalog that's as complete as the in store books.

Well, here's the deal in Champaign.
Rose has used this company for school stuff and has been happy with their shirts.

If we order 25 at a time we get a good discount. It would be $10.64 each for a Hanes 100% 6.1 oz Cotton tagless T-shirt.
It would be 2 color printing on the front, so that means the red part of our logo would be the color of the shirt.
It takes them about a week after we place the order.

If you don't want a regular t-shirt, you can see what else they have here.We would get an appropriate discount even if we mix and match various shirts and sizes.
*remember, the shirt has to be RED or our logo will look funny

SO, can we come up with an order of 25? I myself will want 2 shirts so I have one for each day of a 2-day festival. Rose will probably want one. So that's 3...

This seems to be our best deal so far. I'm willing to put it all on my MC if y'all want to PM me with your quantity and sizes. You can then pay me on receipt of the shirts at a festival or club fly.

If you need to know the price of a different shirt before ordering I can call 'em. Or if you prefer, their phone number is on the web and you can tell them we're ordering 25 shirts, 2 colors on the front and 1 on the back and get various prices of different shirts.

You can PM me with your details and I'll keep a running total here on the forum.
(I'm willing to buy a couple extra shirts to have on hand to sell later if needed to make the total = 25)

There is some concern about having the IKE and web address on the back for the kids shirts.
If you don't want the back of your shirt to have printing, mention it in the PM.

I'll start a new thread with the totals and all the information after Saturday. That'll give you guys at the club fly a chance to talk it over in case you change your mind about any of the details.
I'll also send out a bulk email with the info.

They said that the polo doesn't print well because of the texture. They are better off embroidered.
But if you want one printed anyway, to pick a polo at random: Jersey Spot Shield Polo, printed, would be $17.28
